| Thanks so very very much, Kades - I can't wait to hear you read/sing them - I'm sure I'll be swept away by the sound of your words and emotions! X |

| Hi,
Below are two poems amongst the forty two ANNO’S POEMS that I have managed to translate to Swahili. Once am convinced that they sound well and am sure they depict what Anno had in mind I will send them through. Personally I think they sound well and I will want to read them in my own language once am through. Am hopeful it will be a good Swahili book. Am sorry for the delay but I try to write when my mind is free en pure from anything so that I can create the right picture. Thanks for believing in me. Will communicate soon!
JARIBIO LA KUPUMUA/TRYING TO FIND AIR
Page 12
Translated at 9.31 pm on 29/03/2007
Napata katika jina lako, maneno ya mombi.
Kwa kukumbatia, Napata pa kuweka majibu.
Katika kizuka chako,Napata yakinisho la miaka,
Na vile nilivyo hoi.
Na katika ujana.
Nikijaribu kupunga hewa katika masaa yapingayo uwepo wako.
Naelezewa kuwa nimebarikiwa,
kwa rehani ya busara uliyoniwekea-
Ilinigharimu amani yangu.
Naota sasa na wezi wa benki,
Naota na makaa, na asubuhi za majira ya baridi…
Naota juu ya kupoteza maisha yangu.
Na hizi ndizo ndoto zangu zitishazo.
Hakuna malaika tena, upindi wa mvua wala mabawa.
HOFU YA MAKOSA/TERROR OF MISTAKES
Page 24
Translated at 8:04 pm on 29/10/2008
Tu wadhaifu
na twahitaji ibada.
Dalili za kweli wangu uhapa kama damu-
Katika kuta zako,
Katika ulimwengu wako
Kioo chako.
Je ni mimi nikoseae katika mawazo yangu?
Haupaswi kukosoa njia zangu nzuri-
Kwa kuwa mimi ni ujana!
Ukweli hauna sauti kuu,
milele sio jasiri na haujali zaidi ya sasa.
Na hofu ya kukosa katu sio kuu.
Lakini sisi sio wadhaifu sana.
Tuna nguvu zaidi tukiwa tumeunganishwa na ngoma,
Na tunapumua kuambatana na mlio wake.
Na joto la jua linatuweka matumaini.

| this page continues to sing its sorrows and joys, alternating, shared and interwoven. i find it a comfort, still. sending sweet cheer both to those who have suffered loss and to those who have new togetherness to celebrate.
beee, there is a pot of freshly-brewed tea waiting for you here in east anglia if ever you're up this way.

| sweet love to all you, especially Ned and Joni. I wish you didn't experience this pain. Time and chance and death make things empty and heavy, but i know that such hearts as yours will grow in fullness which lifts without gravity. That you could know a fellow creature so real and well outside of your own species is not only true, but rare (remarkable) in our times these centuries. I'm glad for the lamb (and all others, like Anno) who was lucky enough to know you (and visa versa) and felt your arms and soul. The lamb comes to remember when he and Anno and everyone else are meeting in the now. good rest to all of you still in bodies, and yet we're all already racing with our beloved ones among the stars. xxxxxxxxxxx |

| Sweet Lambert is now beneath the trees where he loved to lie. His candle has been burning all day and will continue all night. Darlng Ned and Joni I hope you are now sleeping quietly in London after your long heart breaking night of sadness. here in Wales. Lambert was much loved by everyone but I know what he meant to both of you - and I expect he does too now, since he will have undoubtedly taken the human form he always believed he had -- and is probably e'en now sitting drinking a glass of red with Anno and marvelling at his brave new world... Love Mama x x x |

| Lambert died twenty minutes ago, in mine and Joni\'s arms. He had an infection of liver fluke, which very suddenly brought him down over the past two days.\r\nSome may think that a sheep doesn\'t make a good pet, but he was one of the most wonderful animals I\'ve ever had the privillage to know. In the year of his life he won over so many who met him. He was, without a doubt, part of the family.\r\n\r\nYou\'ll never be forgotten Lambert, by me or by Joni. Please take care of him Anno, he likes to have his ears stroked and is partial to rose-hips. I\'m now going to dig him a grave out in the front garden, next to Fido.\r\n\r\nGod, why does life have to be so fucking shit sometimes. |
